Gut microbiota is associated with the growth of various tumors, including malignant gliomas, through brain-gut axis. Moreover, gut in patients tumors may considerably differ from those benign tumors. However, associations and brain remain unclear. Hence, order to explore these underlying relationships, meningioma (n = 32), glioma 27), healthy individuals 41) were selected participate this study. The results showed that diversity microbial ecosystem tumor less than controls, while no...

Background The elevated mortality rate associated with non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a well-established global concern. Considerable attention has been directed toward exploring the association between gut microbiota and various malignant tumors. We herein investigated associations intestinal microbiome its metabolites, particularly short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), in patients NSCLC at different stages, including early brain metastasis (BM) stages. findings aim to offer fresh...

Cuproptosis provides a new therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment and is thought to have broad clinical application prospects. Nevertheless, some oncological trials yet demonstrate favorable outcomes, highlighting the need further research into molecular mechanisms underlying cuproptosis in tumors. primarily hinges on intracellular accumulation of copper, with lipid metabolism exerting profound influence its course. The interaction between copper closely related cuproptosis. Copper...

Abstract Ibrutinib is a drug that inhibits the protein Burton’s tyrosine kinase and thereby nuclear translocation of Nrf2, which played key role in mediating activation antioxidants during stress conditions ferroptosis resistance. This study aimed to identify effect inducer on colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment its underlying mechanism. In our study, we found upregulation Nrf2 was correlated with CRC progression antioxidant proteins. sensitized inducers, suggested by further reduced cell...

This study analyzes these changes associations order to predict prevent emICH. Methods The included 100 participants, with 70 individuals diagnosed emICH (30 40 without...

To investigate the influence of different scanning conditions on image quality medical electron accelerator cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and provide a reference for selection body parts. Methods Set conditions, Catphan 503 phantom was scanned using CBCT parameters to analyze spatial resolution, noise, uniformity, geometric accuracy, low-contrast resolution CBCT. For head, chest, abdomen, with increase in parameter values, noise value decreased by 47.4%, 26.1%, 51.3% respectively,...

This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) followed by neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior elective surgery for obstructing left-sided colon cancer.Eleven consecutive patients with cancer between May 2014 November 2015 were included retrospectively. All received SEMS chemotherapy. The primary outcome measure was stoma laparoscopic surgery.Chemotherapy two cycles CAPOX (54.5%) or three mFOLFOX6 (45.5%). Median serum albumin hemoglobin levels...

Propofol is an intravenous (IV) anesthetic medication widely used for procedural sedation, operative anesthesia, and in intensive care unit (ICU), but the incidence of pain during IV infusion can reach 28-90%. Ketamine attenuate associated with propofol injection through local central analgesic effects. gradually being transitioned to its S-enantiomer, esketamine, which has a similar mechanism action. The purpose our study determine half effective dose (ED50), 95% (ED95), 99% (ED99)...

Objective: To explore the prognostic significance of metabolic parameters in postoperative peritumoral edema zone (PEZ) patients with glioblastoma (GBM) based on proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Methods: The MRS data 67 GBM from Beijing Tiantan Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Metabolite ratios including Cho/NAA, Cho/Cr, and NAA/Cr both PEZ contralateral normal brain region recorded. Log-rank analysis Cox regression model used to identify correlated progression-free...

Bone defects are challenging to treat in musculoskeletal system due lack of vascularization. Biomaterials with internal vascularization ability and osteoinduction bioactivity promising strategies for orthopedic applications. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been widely used angiogenesis osteogenesis. Here, we developed VEGF loaded PLGA microbubbles (MBs) improvement osteogenesis bone defect repair combination ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD). Release profile...

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and safety an enhanced recovery programme ( ERP ) in patients aged ≥75 years who undergo laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. Methods Patients were divided into two groups according perioperative management: group (Group A, n = 94) conventional care B, 157). postoperative outcomes compared between groups. Results There no differences terms age, gender, American Society Anesthesiologists score, operative time or blood...

To evaluate the clinical effects and outcomes of local intra-gestational sac methotrexate injection followed by dilation curettage for treatment cesarean scar pregnancies (CSP).This prospective non-randomized study was conducted on patients diagnosed with CSP between 2018 2020 at Maternal Child Health Hospital Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Patients were categorized into two groups according to treatments, i.e., (group A), uterine artery embolization in combination B). The choices reflect...

Fine-tuning facilitates the adaptation of text-to-image generative models to novel concepts (e.g., styles and portraits), empowering users forge creatively customized content. Recent efforts on fine-tuning focus reducing training data lightening computation overload but neglect alignment with user intentions, particularly in manual curation multi-modal intent-oriented evaluation. Informed by a formative study practitioners for comprehending we propose IntentTuner, an interactive framework...
